Of course you are right in demanding the proof. When articles are excerpted from the Collins Report or anywhere else FR only allows 300 words. Writing these essays requires making choices about how to construct the text and say something important within 300 words. There is more on the C/R should anyone wish to read more.
“There is more on the C/R should anyone wish to read more.”
Yes, (and I did read it prior to posting) but not an actual link to the email that’s referenced. (or in the Washington Examiner piece - if I missed it - my mistake)
Again, I think this is good work and very serious stuff; but when there’s a “smoking gun” it only counts as a smoking gun if we can see it. It’s not a smoking gun if someone assures us they’ve “seen the gun - and it’s smoking.”
It’s so easy to link to and post source documents like “emails” I just have to wonder why the people that claim to have such documents chose to not disclose them.
